On this week’s episode, we’re discussing the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8. Both of these are flagship devices, but do they pack a “wow” factor? In our opinion they don’t, but is it necessary at this moment in time. Watch the video podcast, download the episode below, or subscribe on iTunes.

Lately, we’ve been seeing marginal smartphone upgrades and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.While a lot of the discussion surrounding HTC’s One M8 is based on recent rumors, I think it’s safe to say that most of these rumors are true. Many were disappointed with the Samsung Galaxy S5, but Samsung is just bringing us another solid device with a few feature upgrades and refreshed specs. In our opinion, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

If I could ask for anything more, it would definitely have to be better battery life. Sure, we’ve seen improvements in this area, but I would take 24 hour battery life over a larger or higher resolution display any day of the week. What do you think? What do you want in a flagship smartphone?
